That always hits home, anything like this and kids. I never understood why at a young age kids, adolescent/teenagers can be so darned mean. Do their parents know, is it the upbringing or what, then what do you do about it etc. When someone is different or does not fit into the popular clique, others think it fair game to pick on and be mean, they need to realize, they're no better and no different. Often times you want to confront the little pains in the @sses, but then it looks like you're fighting the battles for him, though sometimes a one time confrontation with em will shut em down, that and with the parental units. Definitely need to do something and spend some time with him, see what kinds of things he enjoys doing now, get him involved and get that confidence of his back up and strong, to heck with the bullies, there's a lot more to life.
I do agree with martial arts, self defense and similar, not for the fighting aspect but for all the other things that it teaches you. I think everyone needs to know that fighting and violence is not the solution, but there are times when you have no choice, some just want to instigate problems like what bullies do, and preparing your son to defend himself, via some training like mentioned will provide a valuable education, discipline, knowledge of the human body, its strong points and weakness's, how to use situations to your advantage and how to respect your body and keep fit both physically and mentally. I sincerely hope you can help him with this, and get past it, life is too darned short.
Smoke signals sent!
PS - I know the situation too, hard to believe how many of us had to deal with bullies. Eventually I had to start fighting em off, and it got me into trouble, but I made it my business to learn how to defeat em, because it was not stopping anytime soon. You can just remember when you knew you were in a bad situation, sometimes you would get lucky and an adult would stop it, or a public place to take refuge, there is nothing more lonely than knowing you're in a bad way with no way out, on the school bus, places where there is no place to escape, not close enough to home, been there many times. Finally grew a little, got stronger and learned how to defend myself, never went the depressed/self pity route, as this used to make me so darned angry I wanted the revenge or a piece of anyone that was mean to me, even later in life, now they're all grown up, and you realize what a push over they really were, heck the first one I ever got sucker punched by on the bus for no good reason, (and boy did that nose bleed) the bully had five years on me, and then my darned father hired him of all people as a hand on the farm resulting in an all afternoon brawl which I did well for the age difference, kept getting up and going after him, tired him out and got as many licks in as I could, hah...... he turned out to be GAY, go figure !!!!! LOL ..... LOL !!!! still laugh at that, they're all a bunch of insecure phonies,so take care of that boy and see him through this no matter what !!!!

Today's Featured Article - Harvestin Hay: The Early Years (Part 2) - by Pat Browning. The summer of 1950 was the start of a new era in farming for our family. I was thirteen, and Kathy (my oldest sister) was seven. At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
